I'm happy to report that "Lugang" a Bellagio resto management group will finally open near my place soon. I don't have to go to all the way to Greenhills when I'm craving for some dumplings or comfort desserts.

Water level rises from the coastline of Manila Bay flooding the entire Roxas Blvd.

Aftermath of Typhoon Pedring in Roxas Blvd.

view from my room...

High from last night's taping after shooting the first episode of ETC's newest show called "Etcera". I was looking forward to today's workload. Slept early, all geared up for 8am call time in Antipolo. Meaning, that I have to be awake at 5am and get myself ready (shower, breakfast & grooming myself) and by 6am I should be out of the door traveling in time for the pickup service in Libis at 7am. Deep into my slumber I received a text message at 2am from the executive producer saying that the PR shoot for "Etcera" was canceled; due to typhoon "Pedring" some roads were already impassable towards Antipolo.

Frustrated. I'm wide awake at 2am. erratic. wanting to work.

I got a bit annoyed with the idea of not working today especially I was really looking forward meeting the entire cast & team for the 1st time. I slept the entire day for 12hrs waking up at 4pm in the state of delusional wasteland. Stuck at home feeling unproductive with no cable. no internet, can’t work and to add insult to injured party I’m missing out on my favorite TV series.

Without internet I felt useless, unable to function and very primitive. So, I decided to hit SM Mall of Asia since I needed to get into my emails a.s.a.p. for work. For the 1st time SM MOA was like a ghostown. unavailable internet cafes, no supermarket, no gym & every shop was close. Some parts of the mall ceilings have collapsed, styrofoam wash from the coastline was everywhere; SM Mall of Asia looked like a dump.

Yay! Thanks to Chalk Magazine for having me as your contributor! I have yet to get my own copy. (Photo grab from Lyka Orhel) Grab your latest issue of Chalk Magazine! October 2011! I'm excited to see the 2 Fashion Ed I did for Chalk ♥

I know my are photos aren't that great but the performance just blew me away! I have much more appreciation to American Idol Top 10 contenders after hearing them live it surely changed my opinion to Pia, Stephano and Naima. Worth every single penny; Amazing show! great entertainment value! everyone in American Idol S10 was so talented!!! I'm so glad I was able to be part of this amazing talented batch!

Yay! I'm excited with American Idol S10 Live tour in Manila later tonight at Araneta Coliseum! not to mention I got my ticket for a steal of 60% off at Groupon beeconomic. I have my prejudice with "groupon's beeconomic" at first with their seating reservation system but, I gave the benefit of the doubt as stated in their deal policy. After purchasing the ticket onlinne they promptly sent me a confirmation voucher via email. together with the voucher there was a corresponding assigned contact numbers where you will need to call and reserve your preferred seating arrangement. (which had a deadline + it was hard get in touch with their hotline.)

So, I did as indicated in the voucher . The reservations, the date of pick-up and where to pick it up etc. low and behold, I went to Araneta Coliseum on the date it was "supposedly" going to be released (imagine the inconvenience for anyone just travel to Araneta coliseum and to find out that there's was no ticket!!!) later, I learned from the ticketing lady in the coliseum that the marketing of groupon hasn't released any ticket to the management. It was an epic fail indeed.

I received an email a few days after with an apolody and that it was ready for pick-up. Verdict?! I got the seat that the least I preferred & to add insult to injured party I have to go back to Araneta Coliseum from Paranaque just to pick-up the tickets. what a shame. How efficient right? and so...

I kept on detesting that I'm not an avid fan of American Idol on previous seasons held but I have to admit Season10 of American Idol has won me over. I hate to admit the idea that I've turned myself into pop junkie but, yes! you heard it right I've sort of converted from this artsy fatootsy gal into pop culture junkie; And Yes! I love Casey, Hailey, Paul & Thia Megia. so sue me :o bracing myself to a Wednesday night traffic madness!
